Review: Good machine for the price - I bought this machine for the sole purpose of cutting a particular shape out of anodized 1/32 thick aluminum sheets. When the machine arrived, one of the stepper motors was defective and did not have enough torque to move the lead screw. After contacting support, they were able to assist and I was up and running! If you are cutting metals, the v bits that come with the machine are not going to get you very far. After some research, I got some up cut endmills that cut the aluminum, but broke very quickly. After more research into feeds and speeds and adding some oil to the surface of the aluminum, I am getting successful cuts without breaking bits! A few things to help get started with the machine! You are probably going to break a lot of bits starting out, so be prepared to budget for this and maybe start with some cheaper endmills before dropping a lot of money on the high end stuff. You will need a spoil board under your project if you are cutting all the way through. You can 3d print something to work if you have access to a 3d printer, or you can use wood. Of using wood, make sure it is flat, or mill it flat after installing. Go slow. The spindle in this machine is mounted with an injection molded plastic part that has a single screw to tighten the spindle into it. This piece will flex with enough resistance and ruin your project if your feeds and speeds are not right. Be patient. This machine is not an industrial machine at all, but rather an intro into the world of CNC milling. There are going to be ways to upgrade it with a better spindle, an offline controller, etc, but try using the machine as is before dumping extra money into upgrades that may not net the results you need.
Review: Definately worth it! - Keeping in mind the size and power limit the work you can do, this is a remarkably solid little unit. More for carving/engraving and some "Light" mill work & routing. I found the assembly easy and had it running within a couple of hours. The software is crap (but I knew that going in) but there is plenty of good, free software out there that make getting started straight forward. More advanced Mill/routing work will have a steeper learning curve but that's in the CAD/CAM software, not the unit. The unit I got didn't come with a Z probe or limit switches (I knew that when I ordered) but the driver board is set up to accept them. I recommend adding the, I did. The newer Woodpecker 3.4 control board is not set up to receive an E-stop switch which it should (the older Cronos Maker board was so equiped). I'll wire mine into the DC Power line. A fair amount of upgrades are available but the base unit, as delivered, is solid. Plenty of You Tube tutorials for this unit are out there, Which I found to be of great help. All in all, Very satisfied.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Your cnc router comes only with the Microsoft drivers, do you have a site to get the linux drivers?**
A: As I'm running windows on my system, I never checked for others. I have been told they are available online with a Google search.

**Q: where can we purchase the laser module?**
A: Amazon has lasers.:)

**Q: Spindle connection, does it matter how the red and black wire are connected? Spindle is not labeled.**
A: red wire connect to "+" , black wire connect to "-"

**Q: how wide of a surface can it engrave acrylic?**
A: I use mine for specific CNC milling of parts so I couldn't say. With that said, I have cut to the edge of the bed minus the instep loss from the limiting switches I installed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good beginner machine
*by D***M on September 21, 2023*

Perfect size for small projects. Bits that come with it are junk, so save yourself the headache and plan on buying better bits. Overall, it's a very basic machine with barely any safety features. Power isn't impressive, but it works with very shallow cuts. You get what you pay for, but so far this has been a pretty solid entry-level machine.
